What a nice way to spend part of my afternoon - chatting to last year's XFactor winner James Arthur. We all know he has an amazing talent but knew very little else about him before he spoke to 98FM and y'know what - he was a breath of fresh air.
Unlike some acts who go on the XFactor and then as soon as its over don't want to be associated with it, James was happy to talk about his time on the show and the strong relationship he's built up with his mentor Nicole Scherzinger. They still call each other every day (James actually let us in on a secret....he feeds her the lines to say on the show! lol)
Have a listen to the interview where we discuss the important things......like Jaffa Cake addiction, spray tans, his old life sharing a house with ex-cons and lots more..
James Arthur's new single is called "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You". He plays the Olympia Theatre on February 3rd - this is one gig you won't want to miss!
